Yes, there are only three requirements for membership.
First, you have to be age 18 or older. While we welcome any Star Wars fan to show up and have fun at any of our events, we cannot be responsible for minors at our events or for having them associated with us in case something happens. This is unfortunate but necessary.
The second requirement for membership in the 501st Legion is ownership of a professional-grade Star Wars costume of one of the Stormtrooper characters, Sith characters, bounty hunters, Imperial personnel, or other identifiable denizens of the galaxy that would reasonably be allied with the Galactic Empire. Characters must be from one of the licensed Star Wars movies, books, or games. Final costume approval based on quality and relevance is at the discretion of the club leadership.
Lastly you must attend at least one of your garrison's events each year in order to remain on active duty.
